On this episode of Campfire Conversations, I am joined by author, painter & lifelong hunter Doug Giles. Doug’s unapologetic stance on hunting is one that is rooted in scripture. Doug talks about his journey in finding his faith and how it led him to analyze the Bible and whether or not hunting is indeed a Biblical pursuit. What he found in the Good Book ultimately resulted in him penning The Bible & Hunting. In addition to discussing scriptures that validate our pursuit of wild game, we also talk about Doug’s background as a meat hunter to today, where he travels internationally in pursuit of the next great hunting adventure.

Highlights from the discussion include:
